That's a non-answer. /u/phantom83 is asking if there was anyone that you performed for that had a lasting impact on you. If you really learn something from everyone, can you share one experience from your avalanche of experiences? What is it?

On an airplane, I met a girl that just had brain surgery. She didn't tell me but I did magic for her and her friend. At the end, she was crying and told me that it was the first time since her surgery a week prior that she was happy. I can think of no greater response to doing magic.

I wanted to capture the kind of reactions I experience when a camera is not around and I chased people who interested me from all walks of life, whether on the street or somebody I admire for their work. It wasn't easy, and it's taken me years. I owe a lot of birthday parties and weddings.
